Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 9
The girl's determined tone made Nanny Fang feel relieved and distressed.

The gratification is that the girl has grown up, and her heart is clear, and the heartache is that the little girl who is full of admiration for her grandmother has to grow up.

Nanny Fang held Xin You's hand, and said in a low voice, "Miss, you guessed right. After accompanying you to Beijing, this old servant followed Madam's instructions and handed over all these to Madam."

At that time, she also euphemistically expressed her concerns to her wife regardless of her status.

The wife who was seriously ill in bed smiled and said to her: "When I go, Qingqing's closest relative in this world is her grandmother, and mother will take care of Qingqing."

She couldn't forget the sadness hidden in her eyes when Madam said this, and she immediately understood how useless her worries were.

How could Madam not think of the worries that even a maid like her could think of?However, the master passed away unexpectedly, and the wife couldn't bear it any longer. Only the girl and an orphan were left in the big Kou family.If the girl is not sent to the capital to seek the protection of her ancestral family, let alone keep the millionaire fortune, even the girl's life will be lost.

Thinking of this, Nanny Fang clenched her fists, feeling sorry for the mistress who died young.

From Madam's speech, it can be seen that in the end, the millions of dollars of wealth still failed to provide the girl with a stable life.

"Does grandma know this booklet?" Xin You's eyes fell on the thin booklet.

Nanny Fang shook her head with a look of hesitation on her face.

Xin You pursed her lips: "Is there anything the nanny can't tell me? It's just that I don't understand what I heard. Isn't there a nanny to teach me?"

After hearing this, Mother Fang stared blankly at the girl with a calm expression, feeling once again that the girl had really grown up.

I still remember the day she was driven away, begging the girl regardless of face, but the girl looked away and didn't look at her again.

Nanny Fang raised her hand and lightly smoothed the girl's slightly messy hair: "Madam once told me that when the girl grows up, if she gets married to her cousin or gets married in a decent way, this booklet will be quietly burned. Yes. If the girl is married to someone else, and the dowry is quite satisfactory, let the old slave show the booklet to the girl, so that the girl can have an idea and live her life well from now on. The old slave can’t think of it, and the girl hasn’t waited for it yet. I showed you this booklet the day I left the cabinet, my poor girl..."

Nanny Fang hugged Xinyou and cried, and Xinyou also felt sad for Kou Qingqing.

She grew up loved and loved by her mother, and from these words of Nanny Fang, she can understand a mother's love for her daughter.It's a pity that no matter how many plans and concessions are made for her daughter, they still can't resist the sinister and greedy hearts of people.

"What is the girl going to do next?" Mother Fang asked, wiping the corners of her eyes.

"The next thing is naturally to take care of your body first. The nanny watched over me last night, go to rest earlier."

"The old slave is not tired, the old slave is with the girl."

"Nurse, you can take care of me only if you have a good body."

Only then did Nanny Fang stop insisting, and accompanied by Xiao Lian, she went to rest in the tidied up room.

At night Xiao Lian stayed on vigil, Xin You called her in from outside and showed her the account book.

The numbers on the booklet made Xiao Lian's mouth shut for a long time, she murmured: "This booklet is left by Madam... Maid, maid should not read it..."

With so much money and so many fields, how can she, a little maid, deserve to see these things!

Xin You couldn't laugh or cry: "Then who can watch?"

"Of course it's a girl—" Xiaolian blurted out, and realized that this was not her girl when she met those clear eyes.

Maybe it was the small inner room that brought the distance closer, or maybe it was the trust built up after a few days of getting along. At this moment, Xiao Lian suddenly broke down emotionally, covering her face and crying.

Xin You raised her hand and put it lightly on her shoulder: "In a few days, I will accompany you to find Miss Kou."

Three days later, Xinyou left Wanqingju for the first time, and went to Ruyitang to greet the old lady.

"Cousin girl is here." The maid guarding the gate was a little surprised when she saw Xin You approaching.

The old lady also showed surprise: "Qingqing, why are you here?"

"I feel so relaxed today, come to pay my respects to grandma." Xin You bowed her knees.

"Come and sit next to grandma." The old lady waved her hand, showing disapproval, "Didn't I say to take good care of it, please be safe and don't be in a hurry at this time."

Xin You sat down next to the old lady, and raised her head slightly: "It's really good, I'm so bored all the time, why don't you come and accompany grandma."

The eldest wife, Mrs. Qiao, laughed and said, "Ji Xiao, you are recovering quickly. Madam, you should feel at ease now."

The old lady nodded with a smile, and asked Xin You: "Did Qingqing think of anything else?"

Xinyou lowered her eyes, showing a depressed expression: "No. I can't think of anything except remembering the nanny."

"That's it—" the old lady patted the back of Xin You's hand, "Don't worry, take your time. It doesn't matter if you can't remember, life is going on later."

Xin You nodded obediently, and said softly, "Grandma, I want to go out tomorrow."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, her face became a little more serious: "This is just right, why do you want to go out?"

Xin You replied: "I want to visit the old couple who saved me and express my gratitude to them."

"Thanks are the right thing to do, let the steward give the thank you gift, why do you go in person." The old lady didn't think so.

With a smile on her lips, Mrs. Zhu said nothing, but Mrs. Zhu, who had always been quiet in front of the old lady, said, "What the old lady said is true. Qingqing, your body is just right. It's better not to go out and get tired, and take good care of it."

Xin You couldn't help but look at Mrs. Zhu more.

From the old wild ginseng during the visit to the talkative talk at this time, the second wife seems to be kind to Miss Kou.

And let Xin You make this judgment, there is another fundamental point: interests.

When Kou Qingqing had an accident, the biggest beneficiaries were not the concubine's Erfang family.

Xin You bowed slightly to Mrs. Zhu: "I know that the elders love me, but as the old saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. That old couple saved my life. If I can't even thank you in person, I will really feel at ease." .”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, gently grabbed the old lady's sleeve and shook it: "Grandmother, you just promise, if I can't make this wish, I will always be unsteady."

"This—" the old lady hesitated.

"Grandmother, please."

The girl's eager eyes finally made the old lady relieved: "Then go back early and bring a few more guards."

"Thank you grandma."

"Go back and rest." The old lady glanced at everyone in the room, "You too."

Everyone agreed and filed out.

Xin You walked slowly behind, looked sideways at Duan Yunling, the third girl who was falling beside her, and caught the tangled expression that the other party quickly concealed.

"Is Ling cousin okay?"

"Cousin Qing, why don't you keep the Taoist priest's words in mind. I'd rather believe it than believe it. What if I get into trouble when I go out?" Duan Yunling said in a low voice.

"Third Sister, what are you whispering to Cousin Qing?" The eldest girl Duan Yunwan appeared in front of the two with a slight smile.
